Open Your Eyes

I Won't Waste A Minute Without You

After checking out the house Derek headed to the hospital after phone call from Richard telling him about Meredith and that he heard about the shooting.

The kids stayed with Carolyn and Amy and they took them home to the house in the woods with the police watching them.

Derek had Noah with him and went and sat at Meredith's bedside. He was starting to lose hope.

He climbed up beside her and held her and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The day before the crash

The sun beamed through the curtains and I could feel the warmth hitting my bareback.

When Derek got home last night we put the kids to bed and he gave me sex because he wanted to apologise for not being there to help with the kids.

We were both naked and the warmth coming through the windows was nice. I could feel Derek stir from beside me and felt him lean over me and start kissing my back and his hand come to my pregnant stomach. He finished with a kiss to my cheek and I turned to face him.

"Morning beautiful." He says.

"You're in a cheery mood."

"Well I have 10 weeks off from work, we're going on holidays tomorrow and I got laid last night. And I'm also with my wife who is gorgeous and is pregnant."

I smiled at him and kissed him.

"What are we doing today?"

"Well I thought about a picnic and then a day of just being with the kids doing nothing but enjoying that energetic mood that they are always in and how nothing bad is ever going to happen to them because kids are like that especially our kids because nothing is ever going to happen to us because I believe that we have had our run of bad luck but now all the good things are coming through."

It was true I had hope for our run of bad things to end and that the good things would now happen. The positives.

"Okay well to make our day good I think we should get dressed before the kids wake because I don't want to explain what we were doing just yet at least for 6 years to Soph. Angus you can explain that to him and Kendall 10 years."

"Why do I have to explain it to Angus? Why can't I explain it to the girls?" He asked me.

"Have you experienced being a girl?"

"No."

"Yeah so we'll stick with what we know." I said to him with a huge smile on my face.

He smiled back at me and kissed me before getting up from bed and grabbing his pyjamas for him and for me. Being this pregnant brought it out of me sometimes and I couldn't even see my feet but I was so used to it because I had already done it 5 times so I was used to everything but each pregnancy was different for me. I still loved being pregnant and was soaking it in because this was the last.

I sat up on the edge of the bed and attempted to get dressed. Derek had come over and helped dress me. It was so romantic the way he dressed me. I wanted to rip his clothes off but I knew that after my huge talk about not wanting to explain things to the kids I decided to save they clothes ripping for later.

He helped me up and we headed down the hall and checked the kid's rooms. They were still sleeping soundly considering it was only 7. Kendall though was up so both of us went and got her.
